Our Story
Healing Born From a Personal Breakthrough
Br8k Thru Support Services was founded from one of the most difficult seasons of Jamia Morrow's life.
Jamia Morrow, LPC
Founder, CEO & Clinical Director
In 2016, while pursuing her master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and working toward becoming a licensed therapist, Jamia experienced a series of life-changing challenges. Her family was navigating an incredibly difficult season as her son endured severe bullying at school, leaving him fearful about returning to the classroom.
During that same year, Jamia was laid off from her government position in August, unexpectedly lost a close friend she considered a brother, and only weeks later grieved the loss of her grandfather. These events unfolded during what was also meant to be one of the happiest seasons of her life as she prepared for marriage.
The weight of these experiences led Jamia into a season of depression and caused her to step away from counseling. Although she had dedicated her life to helping others heal, she found herself walking through her own journey of grief, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion.
With the unwavering support of friends, guidance from her spiritual mentor, and a renewed sense of purpose, Jamia found the courage to reclaim her life. Through that healing process, she experienced her own breakthrough—a breakthrough that transformed pain into purpose.
That experience became the foundation for Br8k Thru Support Services.
Today, Br8k Thru exists to remind every individual, family, and community that healing is possible. Through trauma-informed counseling, innovative wellness experiences, education, advocacy, and community partnerships, Br8k Thru helps people move beyond survival and into healing, resilience, and hope.
Because at Br8k Thru, a breakthrough isn't just a moment—it's the beginning of a new chapter.
